Albus Dumbledore tells the students that Hogwarts will be hosting the Triwizard Tournament. Dumbledore introduces Maxime and the students of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, including Fleur Delacour. He then introduces Igor Karkaroff and the students of Durmstrang, which includes Viktor Krum. Dumbledore introduces Maxime to Hagrid, who accidentally stabs his fork into the palm of Professor Flitwick. The Goblet of Fire is brought into the hall and Dumbledore tells the students that whoever wins the tournament will have eternal glory. Barty Crouch tells the students that no student under the age of 17 will be able to apply to participate for the Triwizard Tournament. During the champion selection, Cedric Diggory, Viktor, Fleur and Harry Potter's names are chosen. Maxime and Karkaroff accuse Harry of cheating, but Barty Crouch says Harry must compete. Hagrid meets with Maxime and shows her the dragons that will be used as the first challenge. After the tournament, Maxime leaves with the rest of her school.
